JOHN SKIPP: To be clear, I'm not retiring from making weird shit. Tell me about your final project, "Don't Push the Button", and what your future goals are. TRISH WILSON: You are announcing your retirement after 40 plus years writing. From young agitator to hilarious elder statesman, Skipp remains one of genre fiction's most colorful characters. His work ranges from hardcore horror to whacked-out Bizarro to scathing social satire, all brought together with his trademark cinematic pace and intimate, unflinching, unmistakable voice. His anthology Book of the Dead was the beginning of modern post-Romero zombie literature. His early novels from the 1980s and 90s pioneered the graphic, subversive, high-energy form known as splatterpunk. John Skipp is a New York Times bestselling author, editor, film director, zombie godfather, compulsive collaborator, musical pornographer, black-humored optimist and all-around Renaissance mutant.
